Researches

AUTOSTAT analytic agency publishes marketing researches as the automotive market is analyzed. “Automotive market. Results, trends, forecasts” is published twice a year – at the beginning of the years and as a result of the half year. Reports concerning new and used car parc, regional markets are updated with different periodicity. Subjects of the reports include localization of car production in Russia, LCV parc structure and forecasts and others.

Marketing reports are prepared with an office research method. The major information sources are data of State Customs Committee, GIBDD, as well as our own database and the information obtained from the market players directly. All data, presented in the report is clearly organized and complied in tables. Each subject is traditionally illustrated with graphs and diagrams.

This report focuses exclusively on the market of passenger car service centers. Market assessment was carried out in two lines.

The first one is the classification of market participants and their proportion in the regions, such as official dealers, independent service centers and specialized stations, which provide limited set of automotive service (e.g., carwash, tire service, electronic control system diagnostics, etc.). At the same time private mechanics were grouped into a separate category, as it is quite difficult to estimate their number due to the lack of information in the public domain. Due to the new information in the report we were able to assess the market participants in 68 regions of Russia. The second line is annual sales of automotive service, including body repairs, carwash and tire works.

Summing up the results of the last year, we are pleased to offer you installment of the traditional marketing report “Passenger Car Market in Russia. Results of 2015, Trends and Prospects” prepared by the experts of AUTOSTAT analytical agency and covering the Russian automotive market.

The report contains detailed information on the last year’s passenger car sales, their dynamics and structure, market capacity, its price parameters, segmentation, etc. Results of passenger car sales in Europe, dynamics and structure of passenger car import to Russia as well as information on the market leaders by classes are included as separate pages.
